Speaking in an interview on TV3 Midday Live following the terrorist attack in neighbouring Burkina Faso, Mr. Kutin who is the Executive Director of African Centre for Security and Counter-Terrorism, observed that the state security would usually react rather than take steps to prevent such attacks. If you want to rely on the state security, we can only react instead of prevent it,” he admonished. Mr. Kutin, however, advocated for a cooperation between churches and state in dealing with security issues in the country. There have been three terrorist attacks on churches in Burkina Faso in the past five weeks raising concern about Ghana’s proximity to Burkina Faso and the likelihood for it to be a target.
